Document background
The Estate Affidavit is a fundamental document in Singapore's probate process, required when administering a deceased person's estate. This sworn statement details all aspects of the deceased's estate, including assets, liabilities, and rightful beneficiaries. The document must comply with Singapore's Probate and Administration Act and the Oaths and Declarations Act. An Estate Affidavit is typically required whether the deceased left a will or died intestate, and it serves as the primary reference document for the court in granting probate or letters of administration.
